Because that's just the kind of cheapskate I am

Text messages from Jona to Suchi:

J: I'm in town! When are you free?
S: 7pm
J: Cool! I'll call you when I get to the hotel.

30 minutes later...

J: Could you call me at 212.xxx.xxx? I'm too cheap to call out of the hotel.

The phone rings.

J: Hello?
S: YOU'RE AT THE WALDORF AND YOU CAN'T AFFORD TO CALL ME?
